1,2,3, Salvación Por Todos Mis Amigos Aunque Ya No Estén Vivos

Maquiavelia's song '1,2,3, Salvación Por Todos Mis Amigos Aunque Ya No Estén Vivos' is a chilling narrative that intertwines the innocence of a childhood game with the macabre reality of death and loss. The lyrics depict a game of hide and seek, but with a sinister twist. The singer counts and searches for friends who are no longer alive, creating a haunting juxtaposition between the playful nature of the game and the grim fate of the participants.

The song opens with the familiar call of 'Ready or not, here I come,' setting the stage for a game of hide and seek. However, as the verses progress, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary game. The singer finds Andrés, but only his feet, suggesting a violent end. Inés is found hanging from a tree, missing her arms, and Juanito's head is discovered, but his body remains elusive. These gruesome discoveries paint a picture of a tragic and violent past, where the friends have met untimely and brutal deaths.

The refrain 'Salvación por todos mis amigos aunque algunos ya no estén vivos' (Salvation for all my friends, even though some are no longer alive) adds a layer of sorrow and longing. It suggests a desire for redemption or peace for the lost friends, despite their gruesome fates. The final lines, where the singer counts to ten and threatens to kill if they find the listener, add a chilling conclusion, blurring the lines between the game and a real threat. This song is a powerful exploration of themes like loss, violence, and the haunting memories of those who have passed away, wrapped in the guise of a childhood game.
